If the wind doesn't fire up Saturday, maybe Sunday morning prior to the race at HMB.

Yeah new forecast is not looking great for Saturday, at least for a downwinder, but terrific for the Kalama session.

Saturday 13th: East to northeasterly 10 to 15 knots easing 5 to 10 knots during the morning. Wind tending southeasterly 10 to 15 knots during the afternoon then becoming east to northeasterly about 10 knots during the evening.

Sunday 14th: Northeasterly 10 knots tending northerly 15 to 20 knots during the morning. Wind turning east to northeasterly 10 to 15 knots during the afternoon, although lighter over eastern waters.

Could be strong enough for a run down to Half Moon Bay in the morning.

DJ, haven't you worked out how to use Bold text on the Dave Kalama bit!

Personally, I would have put that "Dave Kalama" bit into the Thread TITLE!

(I can't make it to Melbourne this weekend... Would love to meet the big Man from Mammoth Mountain!.. well he spent time there in his Uni days...)

Get someone to organise a giant Cruiser, for a Downwinder in the middle of the bay... Go searching for bumps!
